CVE-2022-49112

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Feb 26, 2025 linux EPSS 0.24% (15th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-49112 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on February 26, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mt76: fix monitor mode crash with sdio driver

mt7921s driver may receive frames with fragment buffers. If there is a

CTS packet received in monitor mode, the payload is 10 bytes only and

need 6 bytes header padding after RXD buffer. However, only RXD in the

first linear buffer, if we pull buffer size RXD-size+6 bytes with

skb_pull(), that would trigger "BUG_ON(skb->len < skb->data_len)" in

__skb_pull().

To avoid the nonlinear buffer issue, enlarge the RXD size from 128 to

256 to make sure all MCU operation in linear buffer.
